Check out my new 2.7 ltr 325 HP V-6
And its TWIN TURBO

Sorry guy's I couldn't resist
It is my new Ford tow vehicle for the boat tho so that makes it cool to post right 
2018 F-150 4x2 Has the twin turbo 2.7 v-6. Makes great power and 375 torque. As quick or quicker than my f-150 SVT Lightning was when stock. And it matches the boat. Sucks I had to sacrifice my 2.5 200 to get it but its just a small set back

Congratulation , I'm on my 5th Cummins it only has 178,000 miles and no payments

The last time I bought new was 2005 , no way am I going to spend $60,000 +
for my type of truck , I'm a diesel guy because I tow heavy trailers , 12,000-- 15,000 lb.
The only reason I drive a Dodge is because of the Cummins , out of those 5 trucks I've only changed a water
pump once, as far a motors go .Last edited by CUDA; 03-31-2018 at 04:07 AM.

i have always been a chevy guy but there current line of trucks doesnt impress me....I own a 2016 ram 1500 sport that i absolutely love and the ford with an ecoboost was on my short list when i bought the ram...the only thing that made my decision for me which was a hard decision between ford and ram was the ram had a few better incentives so my monthly nut was about $100 less so i went with the dodge....
Beautiful truck enjoy shocking people with how quick that lil V6 pickup is....1984 28 ghost twin 200 Yamah ProVs (SOLD)

Very nice Rob.
I bought a new Fusion Ecoboost in '15 and was way impressed. IMO equal to a BMW in every way.
always wanted to drive a SHO Taurus. Twin turbo V-6 @ 385 HP's!
Ford has really gotten serious about turbos and love what I see.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
